@Jerry Interesting, but the video shows a completely different way of using #Friendica than I use it.
This is mainly about the newsfeeds, that - which is one speciality of Friendica - can integrate many different protocols, so that there are connections not only to the Fediverse in the narrower sense (= Activity Pub), but also to Bluesky, Tumblr, Threads, Diaspora etc.
In contrast, I am only interested in the Fediverse connections (in the broader sense, i.e. including Diaspora).
The other side (which I find more interesting) is Friendica's advantages, how you can actively interact from Friendica and how you can create your own content, and structure received content + , the good way Fediverse content is displayed,.
That it works only between Friendica instances is not a surprise.
I'm wondering though if #friendica would work as a blogging platform - it can have long texts and pictures.
So, ich konnte das Problem einkreisen. Ich nutze die App von #Pixelfed, da werden die Fotos zwar korrekt angezeigt, nur hier in #friendica nicht. Da kommt nur Querformat an.
Lade ich die Fotos über das Webfrontend, dann erscheinen die hier im korrekten Format.
I’m on #friendica! I don’t know what I’m doing yet but come say hi!

I've been fiddling around with Friendica and figured out how to do community groups. As a test I've created an Aussies group. It's semi-public. If you'd like to join then follow https://friendica.world/profile/aussies

I’m testing the water to invest the fediverse with a #Friendica instance. Way easier than I first thought. Stay tuned for a launch in about a month!
I really wish i could find an open-registration #Friendica instance hosted in Straya or NZ, with a safe ethos, current software, green-hosted, & at least a few hundred users. Alas, though i try looking every now & then, for the past coupla years, there seems to be nothing.
From https://friendica.fediverse.observer/list this morn i noted https://community.uncensoredwisdom.com/, but i don't like prospectively joining servers blind, knowing nothing about the ethos of the instance... not to mention that based on those tabulated stats, the instance runs old software, is not Green Hosted, & seems to have no users.
The only other open Oz one listed is https://social.rubencito.net/, which has more recent SW but also no users, etc, & would also require me taking a leap of blind faith to join... furthermore what is one to think of an instance declaring "Welcome to Addams Family Social Network"?
There seems to be nothing listed for NZ.
Sigh.
These videos on #Friendica were really useful, I watched them before signing up.
